Kuang Si Waterfall – A Must-See Natural WonderKuang Si Waterfall is a stunning destination, perfect for photography and cooling off in its refreshing, turquoise pools. There are several natural basins where you can take a dip, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy nature.The location is a bit of a walk from the parking lot, but electric shuttles are available to take you close to the base of the waterfall. From there, it’s just a short hike. The trail is a dirt path, which can get slippery when it rains, so be cautious.The waterfall itself is quite unique—I’ve never seen anything like it anywhere else in the world. Its vibrant turquoise water and tiered cascades make it a truly memorable sight and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.The hike is easy for most, but it’s not accessible for wheelchairs. As for the viewpoint at the top, it’s hit or miss—some may find it scenic, but the real magic is definitely at the base of the falls.Entrance and parking fees are affordable, making it even more worth the visit.
Guangxi Waterfall is a famous tourist attraction in Laos, located in Wanrong, Laos. It integrates mountains, waterfalls, water pools, wetlands and other natural landscapes. The scenery is beautiful and the vegetation is lush. Many tourists can't help but put on a swimsuit and dive into the pool to swim.

Whether it is rafting long-tail boats or kayaking, they are all good activities. It is a good choice to avoid the rainy season. The cost of the project is not high. You can find a local merchant to choose your favorite day tour project. Let's go on a tuk-tuk.
The Nam Song River is in Vangrong, Laos. The water is clear. If it is the rainy season, the waves are turbulent. Now it is the dry season, and it is slightly gentle. Take a long-tail boat in the river, and the strong wind blows on your face, blowing your white hair and rubbing your cheeks. What does it feel like?

The Blue Lagoon is really beautiful and worth a visit. It was the last stop of our day trip. Even if you don't dive, it's fun to watch people diving below. The people below were very supportive and kept encouraging the divers. The lagoon is clear and fun to swim in. There are many tables and chairs around, as well as food stalls. You can spend a leisurely afternoon here.
Since the water is groundwater flowing out of the cave, it is rich in copper and other minerals, so it is particularly blue, especially when the sun shines through the leaves onto the water, the colorful colors are even more psychedelic.
The main thing to thank is the crooked tree on the shore. A thick branch extends horizontally to the water surface, naturally forming a one-meter diving platform. Later, an iron platform was erected about 5 meters above the trunk of the tree, and a bamboo ladder was erected, making this place a paradise for water sports backpackers from all over the world. Looking at the words on the price tag at the back, you can see that most people are from Europe, America and South Korea.
The name is called Lake, but it is actually a river, very similar to the one at the door of my grandmother's house when I was a child (you can imagine it by looking at the bridge in the last picture).
Facing such a clear and blue lake, looking at the young and agile figures, holding a sweet coconut, I instantly understood why this is the place with the highest sense of happiness!
